Re: [neonixie-l] Tube/bulbs for colon separators?

2019-04-27 Thread Jasper C.
Thanks.  I'll give the 3mm neon bulbs a try, those are as small as I've 
found.  Only thing is they need 60V AC.  Not impossible, but an annoyance 
to have to put in another power rail.  I already have some INS-1s on order 
too.

Will also have a look at the 6977s.  Hadn't come across that one before.

I'll also have a look at the IV-15.  Never thought of using that as as an 
indicator, and always thought it was bigger than it actually is.

I bought a bunch of little neons on Aliexpress in three different sizes. I know 
some of you despise Aliexpress, but these items arrived very promptly and I 
have no complaint.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/30pcs-Neonlight-Indicator-Lamp-Assorted-4-10mm-5-12mm-6-16mm-10pcs-each-Red-Neon-Light/32343993534.html
 


Just to confirm, the quantity is 60 pcs in total, 20 pcs of each and not as 
suggested by the item title 30 and 10.

I find strange that they don't have a omega symbol and an A and a V too in the 
right position.
As it is, is useful only in frequecy counters/period meters, while if it had an 
omega (ohm symbol), and a capital A and V, its market could have been much 
bigger.

[neonixie-l] Tube/bulbs for colon separators?

2019-04-27 Thread Jasper C.
What are my options for colon separators to use in a nixie clock?  I'm 
looking for something that works with small tubes, say GR10M/U or even 
better, IN-17s.

I know there's the INS-1, but it does still seem a little big.  I also know 
Yan has some 3mm neon bulbs on his store, but are those a good match to 
nixies?

While I'm at it, are there any equivalent tubes (colon separators) for VFDs?

Thanks!
